I also use LÖVE 2D. I like it as well (just use Sublime Text for dev, don’t need IDE), but I would guess it’s slower to get results compared to Unity.

Income tax should be abolished though. Wealthy people can avoid it easily (get 1 USD wage as CEO and remainder in stock, for example). Only consumption and wealth should be taxed. Wealthy people tend to consume more anyways. For some goods
